I have had one failure and it was caused by the battery being on the floor with the maintainer there too and a wee bit of flooding thru the shop. Not really the units fault, more like mine for leaving it on the floor instead of the bench or at least on the scooter floor board.

Do you know how little circuit .020 amps is? Of course it will not charge a low battery, it is not suppose to, that is what a battery charger is for. As for the LED drawing the battery down, in a month is the battery is junk and you should check on it every couple of weeks.

cables can stretch and need adjustment. You can adjust it next to the carb, just see if there is some slack in the cable and adjust it out.

I don't bave enough information to think it is a clutch problem. Checking the cable is the easiest thing to do first.lots of things can make one scooter faster than the other.

There are a lot of things that can make you have power problems. Like I posted earlier in the thread, I am a fan of doing the cheap things first, you may need to adjust the valves. You posted that it had sat for a year, so it might be a partially clogged jet. Yes you might have a variator/clutch problem.

I took the scooter to a scoot. mec that i heard of , and he told me. that the variator was bad so i bought it on parts for scooters and he install it so he was checking thr carburator yo fix the iddling problem that it had , he found out that someone had mess with the carb. you know the big thick gage spring that it has near where the cable goes attached that dpring someone haf taken it off.so he gave me a used one that he had,installed it, but know the scoot had power. at the beggining but then it would start to hessitate, he took it off again took out the jets and the hi- jet had one less hole than the one it used to had, so he changed it and wala. now it runs perfect , its funny like people that dont know what their doing can damage. a scooter.
